ROCKFORD, Mich. (WZZM) - It's been a month since Michigan State Police started helicopter patrols in West Michigan, but troopers are not getting the positive feedback they hoped for from the community.

Troopers are hearing some negative comments, and WZZM is hearing them too. The WZZM 13 Information Center has taken many calls from people complaining about the noise, many saying they don't like how close they are getting to their homes.

F/Lt. Chris McIntire is addressing those concerns: "It's going to become a little more normal for those that don't like it here right now."

The schedule has been tight for Michigan State Police helicopters in their first month in the area. "It's been in the downtown Grand Rapids area so much lately because of the flooding primarily, and it's caused us to fly a lot lower than we normally would fly."

MUSKEGON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WZZM) -- Police say they removed an RV with more than a dozen cats from property on Kregle Road because it created a health hazard and violated a Muskegon Township ordinance.

The vehicle was moved to the Humane Society and Animal Rescue of Muskegon County on Tuesday.

Police say the vehicle's owners had recently demolished their house because of a number building code violations and moved the cats into the RV.

Police were able to catch more than 10 cats inside the RV while it was parked on Kregle Road. Moving the RV to the Humane Society allowed staff to coax the remaining cats out with food and catch them.
